To be honest, there wasn't a single male celebrity on that site that looked bad with a shaved bald head. In fact, they looked quite good and many of the women looked quite elegant, as well.

It's the celebrities on that site that had thinning or recession, but didn't have the shaved look that looked ridiculous. The same holds true for everyone else in the general public.

are you saying that people who have thinning and recession should always shave their head when the choice is between that and leaving it as is? if so, are you referring to people NW5+ which the celebrities showing thinning seemed to be?

sorry for the convoluted paragraph.

No, I'm just saying that the outcome isn't always as bad as people make it out to be. You can still look handsome or elegant and be completely bald. Accepting it and exploring every other facet of your personality and character is what makes you confident and attractive.

Hair loss isn't just a physiological disease. It's a problem that the individual must learn to cope with and doing so makes you attractive to everyone. Getting to the point that Harrison Ford is in that one pick and letting your hair continue to grow is either blind acceptance or the complete opposite. It's the demeanor of that individual that will tell you which.

If my hair loss progresses, I'm just going to shave it and say screw it. The treatments we have now are worthless to me, because they don't target the disease. They target the symptoms and give a person a false sense of physical security.

For God sakes, we have a disease that is correlated with developing other diseases statistically. Taking a 5AR inhibitor won't save you from the consequences of ignoring a molecular disorder. We need to know why male pattern baldness occurs, why it's associated with immunological processes, and why it isn't necessary hereditary. I mean, has research ever clearly demonstrated that a man or woman with male pattern baldness clearly inherits a defective X chromosome or other chromosome from their parent? Do we know that our parents have the same defect at the level of the individual nucleotides?

docj077 i one hundred per cent agree with everything you have said..Im all for promoting the shaved look when so much hair is lost that it looks ridiculous...

'You can still look handsome or elegant and be completely bald'

and

'It's the celebrities on that site that had thinning or recession, but didn't have the shaved look that looked ridiculous. The same holds true for everyone else in the general public'

are the ones that strike the most chords with myself...an unshaved norwood 6 or 7 looks worse than the elephant man...the shaved look really isnt as bad as people make it out to be, and as you say, even on the women..although it has to be admitted that the women in the pictures are caked in professional and stunning looking make up and are much more attractive than the average female..

I guess you'll just have to learn to deal with humanity appearing human in all its forms. I can't train that out of you. It has to do with your perceptions and how you were raised.

If you can't tolerate the appearance of others when they appear bald, then you'll never understand why you can't tolerate it while it's happening to you.

I laughed my *** off! hilarious!!

what really hit home and made reality set in is how a balding head makes you look so much older and unnattractive... the Brad Pitt pic where he was bald on top and had hair on the sides made him look ugly and older.... this dude is a great looking guy and look at what hair loss made him look like!!!!

But, not shaved. He looks great with a shaved head, so there really isn't anything to laugh about.

Men look great with a shaved head if they know how to have the confidence and personal sense of style to pull off the look.

Does it matter what they target?

You said to me that people who get on Avodart early enough will not progress much past their original Norwood. You're a Norwood 2. Say the worst you will get is Norwood 3, assuming nothing better comes out even. Then you can just get transplants to get back to Norwood 2 or even Norwood 1. What's wrong with that?

I'm not saying that some guys dont look good with a shaved head, Vin diesel for example but all these pics show is that people look much better with hair than without it. The other comments posted here only confirm this fact. You can tolerate being bald but most people on here will never lose their desire for hair.
And as for the women they just looked freaky.

Hey Doctor you know a lot about DHT. In your opinion from everything you know do you think its safe in most cases to take propecia say for 30 years? Does altering DHT worry you at all due to the way it works in the body?

To me, it does matter. Researchers are half-assing their answer to the male pattern baldness question by simply targeting a part of the process.

In reality, they have no idea how massive inhibition of DHT formation will affect a person in the long run.

Plus, DHT inhibitors will only correct the process in its earliest form for most people. There is no hair loss reversal. Just because you regrow hair on your head that doesn't make you a healthy person and that doesn't even mean that you've necessarily done anything to the male pattern baldness process.

male pattern baldness is a disease with a cause and science hasn't found an answer. That's why it bugs me to see people become comfortable with 5AR inhibitors.

So let me make sure I understand you what you are saying.

Are you saying that if people don't catch the male pattern baldness process in the early stages, then 5ar inhibitors will do nothing for them, not even in terms of maintenance? A lot of people would be happy to just keep the hair that they have and not get any worse due to the advent of advanced hair transplant techniques.

Are you saying that drugs like Propecia and Avodart could cause damage down the line to people taking them? And that male pattern baldness signals other health problems as well?

they were all given perfectly round heads with no roots. They still looked good, but they dropped moderately from where they would be with hair. I'd say more than moderately. Yeah, they still looked above average.

Doctor got me scared though about the other diseases. I hope the fish oil and anti-oxidants I'm taking will fix that.

Yes they do, the pseudo-hermaphrodites. And they live normal lives, in fact they have slightly longer life expectations.


Aren´t you getting a little bit scaremonger here??


If you are a Doctor, or a med student I think is normal, it´s kind of a professional deformation. I have friends who are doctors and they are all the same. They bring fear of uncountable diseases over you when a health/medical topic is in discussion, pronouncing those bullshit greek terms they think are incomprehensible by the non-doctored people.

In my humble opinion is the way of saying "I´m a shaman, I know hidden science you don´t and look how much I can threat you with it, aren´t you scared??".

Please cut the bullshit.

Heart disease and prostate cancer are two major ones for androgenic alopecia. Depending on the particular type of alopecia a person may also have immune system disorders ranging from autoimmune to immune deficiencies.

The correlations are small, but they are still there.

Thanks for that meaningless rant. You are aware that XY pseudohermaphrodite gonads do not decend, which puts them at an increased risk of cancer, right?

You also seem to forget that pseudohermaphroditism encompasses a 5AR type II deficiency and not a 5AR type I. These people still produce DHT after puberty.

Lastly, you also seem to forget that these people develop with this deficiency. They don't have their hormones stripped away from them during the prime of their lives. Like I said, nobody knows the impact of doing such an act.

Doctors don't know hidden science and the information is always out there for the patient to discover if a physician doesn't have the time during his or her short 30 min. time slot to explain everything. People are so needy and self-centered and they never realize that the other 6 billion people in this world are the exact same way. Everybody needs help and doctors do the best they can. If you have a problem with them, then don't go see them anymore. Don't be a hyprocrite.

Within the next 20 years, there is going to be a massive shortage of primary care physicians, because medical students and doctors alike are tired of dealing with what I mentioned above while also getting crappy medicare reimbursement, so they can't pay their school loans off.

There will come a day when going to the doctor will seem like that day when you go to your local superstore with 70 checkout aisles and only 2 are open, because nobody else wants to do the job or is trained to do the job.

Continue to mock that which you don't understand and you shouldn't be surprised when it's simply not there anymore.
